How to clean a sticking EGR | Ford 1.5 TDCi | Quick EGR Service

[@Combatfoo]

Great vid, mine is the 1.6 but same egr as yours, just waiting on long torx sockets, have already cleaned using spray via intake but I really want to take the thing off and blank it after cleaning the physical body, I plan to drill a 10mm hole in the blanking plate as fed up with the annual necessity of cleaning it.

Hey man great vid thanks! Can I ask, if I were to replace the EGR valve completely with a new part, would it need any reprogramming/diagnostic installation? or should it just work out of the box?

Hi, great video thanks for posting. I have a mk3 focus on 550000k kilometres. I have it oil changed every 15k. No smoke but seems to lack torque. And varies on performance from day to day. Is an Egr clean required so you suspect? Using forscan only the Glow plug circuit shows an intermittent fault. Thanks

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Hi there, you have replace glow plugs. ford goes to power restricted mode with bad glow plugs. Plus as a preventive should clean, EGR, MAF sensor and MAP sensor. Just to check the torque you may unplug the egr and drive just check the difference and plug it back.

Hey! Great video Have a question! What do you think of EGR delete, blanking it off by plate? Would you suggest the same? If so what's the correct way of doing it.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Hi there, if you dont mind the CEL, just unplug the egr electrical connector.or have to reprogram the ecm. Dont just block off with a blank plate. Some newer engine senses the block and adjust the injection rates but for some doesn't realise the block and continue firing just like a fully functional one and sometimes can cause piston crown burns. EGR delete is good for the engine life but can affect the environment to some extent. all depends on your side.

[@hansgustavsson3320]

Nice video. Do you know if the valve can be sticking, without any faulty codes?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Absolutely, the fault code only appears when the valve is completely stuck or sometime it does not throw even if its totaly immobilised. If the valve has a position sensor, can throw a code. Although an archive code may appear stating "maf sensor performance variation" which will not throw a CEL but can be read from scanner. If its a vacuum controlled one, chances are even less.

[@hansgustavsson3320]

@@dailyhandsdiy Thanks, my car is c-max 1.6 tdci 115 hp 2013 180000 km,. My type EGR is the same as this 1.5. My car smokes a little for a few seconds starting cold and idling fine in the start, but later it gets a little rough and it have a little taping noise, most around 1500-2500 rpm. I have tested the injectors, My car is doing only around 15 km pr. liter. How many km has this Ford 1.5 done? thanks again.👍👍

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Oh this egr works on the resistance feedback, doesn't show the code if its intermittently sticking and if fully stuck gives a check engine light. I guess the egr in your car is not closing properly which will surely give smoke on startup and goes away after some time. So does the glow plugs. Its a good idea to clean it as its already 180k kms and those egr get stuck easily around 30 to 40k kms gap. This car has 130k on odo and gives around 16 to 17 average for a litre. Drives 60% on city with 100% AC on.

I have a doubt about this process. I want to do a full EGR clean on Ford Figo 1.5 TDCI. Meaning EGR valve, intake manifold, and pipes that attach to the valve and intake. Does this process require undocking the whole engine from the car? Can the whole work be done from the top or should I go under the car to undo EGR pipes? Is a a process that can be done in a single day? I checked with a GoMechanic shop and they said it's a 3 day process. I am a little doubtful and am thinking if I should do it myself or take it to a mechanic. That again raises another question. Is this process on this particular car easy for just about any car mechanic? I have all these doubts because Ford plainly denied EGR service and only agreed to replace them once faulty. It costs 20k which is ridiculous when this part can be serviced. Ford Figo 1.5D EGR service is a total mystery everywhere even on KZbin. So less videos on this topic. There is every type of EGR video on 1.4 Duratorq but not the 1.5 TDCI. Wish you could enlighten us on this topic. I am itching to know more how this is done properly in good light and tool choices.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Hi there, those egr can be dismantled and cleaned. The one i took was the valve motor and valve. The rest is called gas cooler assembly. You can dismantle that as well, some torq bolts and you need to disconnect the vacuum hoses, coolant hoses and gas pipe, it comes straight out. Its almost a day job for experts, 2 for freshers. Its a good idea to have hex and torq socket sets with you for diy jobs. 5.5 to 14mm hex drives and 5 to 45 sizes of torqs. Its done above the engine.

[@Sobin16]

@@dailyhandsdiy Thanks for the information, I am planning to attempt DIY EGR cleaning this weekend. Fingers crossed.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Sure happy DIY 💪

[@Sobin16]

​@@dailyhandsdiy Update: Gosh, never did I presume EGR clean would sap time and energy so much. The work commenced at 10 in the morning. What I planned to conclude in 3 hours took me an entire day. Let me give prospective DIY enthusiasts a word of advice. EGR cleaning difficulty level for FORD 1.5 TDCI is not the same as 1.4 Duratorq. This is a nightmare DIY. Do not mess with this part unless you know the implications else you'll have a badly functioning engine and a plume of black smoke depending on how miserably you fail at it. Anyway, my work went like this. Disconnected the battery, removed the battery assembly, removed attachments on the ECU, and moved it out of the way. Then, fuel filter and aluminum filter assembly were dismantled as well. Till here, it took about 1 hour. The EGR valve finally emerged in sight. I then removed the hose snaking from the intercooler to intake before separating the nozzle plunging into the intake race. Time elapsed: 2 hours Next, lifted the car on jack stands and went underneath. With extreme difficulty and merely based on feel at fingertips, more bolts were undone along with clamps, and a bracket holding all attachments to the EGR cooler assy. It was dark and using phone light for visibility I soldiered on. Then, back to the topside, I unfastened coolant channels connected to the EGR and had some of the coolant spill on the floor. The part is firmly attached to the engine block and will need some wiggling and prying. Remember, there is absolutely no head room to choose a breezy approach. You need maximum caution else to avoid tearing a dozen rubber tubes, wires, and pigtail connectors. After more wiggling, the EGR cooler body with the valve still attached was extracted from the battery side. Then, the hose running to the intake body was separated from the top. Time elapsed: 4 hours. The EGR valve was freed from its housing with T30 torx and the separated components were scraped to dislodge crusty carbon chunks with a screwdriver and then given brush treatment with petrol to loosen the soot+varnish combo. Word of advise: Remember to save every rubber gasket and not to dunk them in any cleaning solution, or else you may need replacement. Rubber can swell if exposed to certain chemicals. Gathering all parts I visited a local car wash and had the components flushed with diesel+water. The parts were then air dried using compressed air. To prevent rust EGR parts were thoroughly dried. Then the reverse of dismantling began. Gasket sealant were applied to all mating metal parts of EGR to avoid leaks. Tip: Torque metal parts adequately else you will experience leak - coolant and gas. When the last screw was installed, the time elapsed: 8 hours. The car was idled for 20 minutes and taken for a short spin. The coolant level in the reservoir slightly dropped because some of it spilled earlier. After top up, ran the car for another 15 minutes and luckily no codes showed on basic OBD 2 scanner. Will do a long test drive tomorrow as it was already dark and didn’t want to risk being stranded in case my approach led to issues. Photos taken for reference: 110+. Screws and nuts that I roughly removed: 30+. Conclusion: Full EGR cleaning on FORD Figo 1.5 TDCI is a royal pain in the rear. Ford placed this serviceable part in the most awkward place - behind the firewall, making any repairs on it a nightmare. There is a maximum risk of breaking many parts, wires, hoses that you come across during the EGR service. Will I do this again if needed? Absolutely not! Take it to a mechanic and pay them for professional service. Midway, I was lost many times and god knows where I would have ended had I not taken pics every now and then to recall what parts went where. Remember, when you clean the valve and solenoid, you only solve maybe 30% of problem, if it’s an emergency or if the choke point is a sticking valve, only cleaning the valve is ok. Period! But in most cases, your high mileage car will have soot all the way from EGR valve to the intake runner, to intake ports. Only if the entire path traversed by the gas is cleaned can you say performance is bestowed to how it was anew.

[@Combatfoo]

Sobeebee I think your post needs to be copied and pasted into the main body of the thread as there is no substitute for experience and it may help someone else considering a full strip down to consider just giving it a bye and only doing the egr body, brilliant write up, thoroughly felt your pain and the desire to wind the clock back not starting the job in the first place, you had me sweating at disconnecting and moving the fuel filter and cage (yeah done that job as well as priming the fuel filter) and then the anxiety kicked in at removing the battery, jacking the car up and lying underneath had my back in bits, kudos to you for convincing me to not to do it, thoroughly enjoyed your masterpiece though.

But also I know this 1.5 TDCI is one of the most reliable diesel engines out there.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

I will surely go with tdci because as you said its much more reliable n way less complexity. speaking of these two engine. tdci has an egr n petrol has vvt, both comes with equal sensors, filters and much more. only difference is the hp pump and the turbo. also the injection on petrol has an injectr spark plug, step up coil in diesel just an injector. So there's nothing like comparing diesel engines n petrol engines nowadays both comes almost equal complex.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Plus one more reason to choose diesel, the engine will be run less compared to high revving petrol engine ( engine revolution wise) so less worn bearings and rings. note, if the car is well maintained.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

hey brother, its not a throttle body, its diesel shut off valve. It makes the engine off smoothly without much vibrations and also helps to eliminate diesel runaway issue. There is no need to clean that because it stays wide open if the engine is running and close only at the time of engine shut down.

[@mandarshrotri5679]

@@dailyhandsdiy ok , but pls explain us how the throttle works😊

[@dailyhandsdiy]

In petrol cars the acceleration is control by throttle body, where there's a small valve that opens and closes controlling the air inhaled. So this valve operate continuously responding to accelerator. In diesel cars we do not need this valve as the power is controlled by rate of fuel injected. ie uncontrolled air flow. In diesel cars when they turn off used to shake heavily which is a disturbace to ppl and engine mounts as well. So they introduces a shut off valve to create a vaccum in engine to make the engine stop smoother. Also it reduce the chances of runaway problem s well. Here the valve is motorised but is not continuous. If there's no power valve is hold open by the spring action. Its will be hold in open position continuously. And when we turn the engine off, it shuts close for 5 to 8 secs. so no air goes in, creating a vaccum inside intake manufold. This vaccum make an equilibrium condition to piston which will have no compression or expansion. so engine turns off silently and smoothly.

Hi there, the engine shake while shut off could be the ASV valve if equipped. Other reason could be a bad mount. Low torque could be bcs of bad or stuck egr, map sensor not reading correctly, turbo leaks or failure. Also a problem with injectors could also be a reason for low mid ranges. Primarily check the turbo leaks and egr.

[@Sobin16]

Hi, I did this service today. Yes, you need to hit it with penetrant to make things easier, The tightness is because the valve and the valve slot has such minimal clearance. It only moves one way - up or down. You cannot wiggle in any case. Like OP said, a small gap exists between EGR valve and the housing on which it is mated. Pry only there. Do not pry under plastic or you risk damaging the EGR solenoid. Pry as long as you can and then use twist motion to remove the EGR valve+ solenoid from its original slot. If you have tried all this and still have no luck, my most precious advise is this - Leave it to experts. I know that feeling - so close to completing a goal but have no other way than retreating. Every DIY person hates that. In case of EGR, it's best to swallow the pride and beat retreat . Should you break this part, you are looking at some hefty bill. For some owners especially well maintained cars and low mileage cars, this part comes off without struggle, but to others it's a nightmare. So EGR service isn't black and white to all.

[@vijayam1]

Mate, can you let me know the location of the throttle body for the 1.5 TDCi?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

As of petrol, diesel engine doesn't have a throttle body but it has a engine shut off valve thats exact same design of throttle body. In 1.5 its on the left front side of engine. The pipe from intercooler goes to the valve.

[@vijayam1]

@@dailyhandsdiy Right, the 1.6 has it there, even the 1.4 has a TTB, but I just can't find it on the 1.5, in your EcoSport video same as mine, the pipe directly goes down to the intake manifold near the EGR valve, is it down there somewhere?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

nop, which varient do you use? base varients did not come with the device.

[@vijayam1]

@@dailyhandsdiy No mate, all the newer 1.5 engines I see irrespective of the variant, model or trim, the engine is almost the same, apart from the fuel filter cover and what not. But I might be wrong, see, the accelerator pedal should operate something to let in air right? Which is basically electronic pedal unit. That's where I am confused now, if the accelerator pedal is pressed, it should operate some valve to allow metered air other than the EGR which is a separate unit. Am I missing something?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Yup, its actually told wrong, unline petrol diesel doesn't need a meterd or controlled flow of air into the engine. when you press the accelerator, its the injector that opens wide to allow the fuel, in petrol, air is the one controlled but in diesel, fuel is the one controlled. Diesel engine nowadays are provided with shut of valve to fecilitate smooth shut down, avoid diesel runaway nd some makes program to support egr as well.

[@joegxz]

would this cause engine service light do u know? / engine management light?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Yup if its completely blocked or stuck, service light lits up.

[@joegxz]

@@dailyhandsdiy Would it also cause smoke in the rear come out /excessive? Would replacing a MAF sensor temperately fix it - ive done this stopped limp mode and engine management lights for around 3/4 weeks?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Actually its a good idea to scan the ecm to get the fault code. even a bad maf sensor can also cause the check engine light to turn on. If the actual problem is with the egr, just replacing the maf won't do any good. And yes if egr is not functioning properly, there will be excessive smoke from exhaust.

[@joegxz]

@@dailyhandsdiy Thank you very much, outstanding channel! Got an issue with my ford focus 2016 1.5tdci as you can tel...

[@dailyhandsdiy]

And yup one more thing, a stuck open egr can also trigger a fault code stating low maf air flow performance. Dont mistake maf with egr. First thing to do, clean egr and check its perfrmnce second clean maf and map sensors. This will get you right on the track. I do have a video on cleaning maf n map in my videos.

After removing 2 screws egr is not coming out.. egr is stuck.. sprayed almost half bottle of wd40.. no luck 🙁odo is 62000kms. Ford Ecosport 1.5tdci.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Carbon soot might have gone btwn the valve n housing. You could find a small gap below the second bolt... to pri the valve. take a small minus stick that into the gap n pri it. Also wiggle and rotate both clock n anti clock. It will come out.

[@BJ-wc7ns]

I have the same problem, how is it possible to get out? I tried with warm and cold engine, with wd40, cooler spray, brake cleaning...

[@dailyhandsdiy]

There's a small gap in between the the housing... have to put a screw drive in and pry, at the same time rotate the valve clock wise n anti clock wise...it wont turn much jst an inch turn will be there.

[@JuanBarios]

How to blank it?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Most easy way is to disconnect the electrical connetor. But this will trigger a check engine light. The 2nd way is to remove the 4 screws holding the egr motor from the valve, keep the motor somewhere near(hang it) keep the electrical connector on. So the valve remains closed and the motor working. this won't throw a check engine light. Third optn is to block of the pipe going from egr to manifold. 1st one is more safe for the engine under the cost of cel.

[@JuanBarios]

@@dailyhandsdiy so if i disconnect it, can i turn off the check engine light permanent with software? The reason i want to do this is because i have very bad throtle response on low rpm. Tnx for response anyway

[@dailyhandsdiy]

You can surely do the disconnection and program to avoid check engine light to pop up. But should be a professional to code the softwre or you could end up with over heating engine. Or just disable the check engine light on dashboard.

Its the engine shutoff valve no wrys. EGR too makes a small shutting noise too.

Does the egr ever go bad, will it be fixed by cleaning it or does it have to be changed egr too? I’m from India

Yup egr motor can go bad and needs a replacement. Its rare. Normaly, egr valve gets stuck and a clean up gets it cleared.

Make video on intercooler also 1.5 tdci

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Sure bro will do when i get hands on... For reference i use suction cleaning which the device is not with ppl. so you can use turbos pressure to clean. Open the inlet and outlet hose from inter cooler. fill in a liter of petrol through inlet. connect the inlet pipe to turbo side. put a collection pan on the intercooler outlet pipe which is disconnected. Start the car and rev to 1200 rpm and wait to push all the fluids out to pan. After 30 to 45 secs increase rev to 2000 rpm to about 15 secs. drain the pan. Again repeat the steps from start. This will clean the intercooler enough. Repeat the procedure 2 or 3 times.
